Partakers Prayers

We pray together and when Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!

A prayer of Bonaventure

Lord Jesus,

as God’s Spirit came

down and rested upon you,

may the same Spirit rest upon and be within us.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O Yahweh,

Grant us the gift of

understanding, by which your

precepts may enlighten our minds.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O Jehovah,

Grant us counsel,

by which we may follow in your

footsteps on the path of righteousness.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O Great God,

grant us courage,

by which we may ward

off the Enemy’s attacks.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O Sovereign God,

grant us knowledge.

by which we can distinguish

good from evil.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O Merciful God,

grant us piety,

by which we may acquire

compassionate hearts.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O Holy God,

grant us fear, by which

we may draw back from evil

and submit to what is good.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

O ineffable God

made known through Jesus,

grant us wisdom,

that we may taste fully the

life-giving sweetness of your love.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

For we ask this O God our Father,

In the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us

Through the Son who died and rose again!

Amen.
